Maybe I've grown jaded with my advanced years and seeing repeats of these entitled tantrums coming from immature reactionaries. But he set out to destroy culture and history, and in the process got severely injured. News flash. The real world comes with real world consequences. Everyone involved should face charges of some sort, whether they're gross negligence or manslaughter (if the dude died or dies). The statue didn't fall on its own. Actions have consequences and he wasn't just walking by on his way to buy a snow cone. He bears some responsibility for being there, and those pulling the statue down bear the majority of the blame.
I understand that fully, and acknowledged as much to another Patriot here.
The man and his friends caused his demise. His choices and theirs led to a foolish decision which now has him either dead or severely injured.
I simply care about the state of his soul, and the affect this choice of his put on his family. If he lives he will undoubtedly have severe injuries that will cause him to have to be cared for by others the rest of his life. That changes their lives forever having to care for him. If he died, then they are without him and that's very sad. If he is alive he has a chance to change his ways and come to know God. If he's dead...then I pray for comfort for his family.
It was a incredibly selfish thing to do on so many different levels. And illegal and immoral. But somebody is coming away from this unfortunate tragedy a changed person, weather we ever know it or not. And hopefully it's a change for the better.

I can't argue with that sentiment.
Hopefully the family will be forced to buy a new statue if he's unable to work
He was helping to pull it down.
